If the three suggested quoting routines are provided (by whatever mechanism: clever, dumb; generic, or otherwise) as non-filesystem specific conversions, then filesystem can use them.
The advantage of them not being in boost::filesystem is that other people will be able to find and use them too (for non-filesystem specific things).
I have a feeling that there are a number of useful general-purpose utility things hidden away inside specific libraries (sometimes as detail). It would be shame to add to that tally.
